"I know, I know, you're my half-sister!" Sunny said. "But you can't control me like that!"
Corinne continued to eat her toast. "I won't. But I'll have you know that Xante is my relative on my mother's side. She'll listen to everything I say. If I tell her that I disagree with her being in a relationship with you, then it's as good as over for the two of you!"
Sunny's expression changed drastically. "Wait! Corinne! Don't do that..."
He knew that Xante referred to Corinne as her 'boss' and would take Corinne's words definitively. As if that was not bad enough, Lucas did whatever she asked of him too! Sunny was worried that Lucas might veto his relationship with Xante, but he would not have to worry about that if Corinne spoke up for him to Lucas.
Corinne lazily stretched out her hand. "A paper napkin, please."
Sunny did as he was told and handed a paper napkin to her.
Corinne ate the final bite of toast and wiped her hands with the paper napkin. She then got up and walked to the door.
Sunny followed her from behind. "Where are you going?"
"To the garden," Corinne answered. "I'd like to take a walk."
Sunny scratched his head and asked, "Ahem! About me and Xante..."
"That would depend on whether you can prove your worth," Corinne replied.
Sunny immediately had a stern expression. "I will! The sun is very bright outside, so wait here while I go get an umbrella!"
Sunny ran off right away to search for an umbrella, but Corinne went to the garden alone without waiting for him. She walked to the sea of flowers where she once met her biological father, Maxwell, but the blooming season seemed to have passed because the flowers had all withered.
She was a little disappointed that she was not able to see her mother's favorite flower.
She sighed softly and continued to walk until she saw a swing chair not too far away. She decided to go over and take a seat there. Sitting on that swing chair was rather relaxing.
All of a sudden, her phone rang with a new message notification.
She took it out and saw that it was a text from Jeremy.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
